Hi, I'm Dave Graybill, the Fishin' Magician!

One of my favorite things to do in Leavenworth is to fly fish the Icicle for small rainbow and cutthroat. The stream is full of fish, the solitude is great and the scenery spectacular.

Here you will find current information on fishing in Central Washington State.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991. My reports are now carried on several radio stations and many newspapers in Washington. The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.
